The story provides some background information for the upcoming film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” which is about an Irish girl who sails to North America on the Mayflower and later founds the school. Ilvermorny is apart of a new series of writing by the “Harry Potter” author called “Magic in North America.”
